BCC keeps World Series berth

Earlier this week, Brunswick Community College self-reported an academic ineligibility violation, resulting in forfeits, yet will still be allowed to participate in the National Junior College Athletic Association Baseball World Series, which begins Friday in Enid, Okla.

The 13th-ranked Dolphins play Murray State College at 4 p.m. Saturday.

BCC was forced to forfeit games the ineligible player appeared in. As a result, BCC’s record falls from 31-19 to 19-31.

Coach Robbie Allen refused to divulge the player’s name, and he took the blame for the infraction.

BCC was placed on probation, meaning the Dolphins are not allowed to participate in the conference tournament in 2014.
